Me too. DC has always seemed to be slow at recognizing the obvious. If this is just another example, you gotta ask yourself should Canales even be a HC right now.

Unless you get a true franchise HOF trajectory QB pick, age is really irrelevant. Worst case you get 2 contracts out of Shough, barring major i jury, if he's still the guy. How many of us would love to have a QB undoubtably worthy of a 2nd contract? Most of the time you get the 1st contract plus 2 years before the costs on the back end really start making it hard to build a playoff team. Only way around that is exceptional drafting.

I'm not even saying he's better than Bryce. I'm saying he's potentially better than Dalton and a decade younger. Dalton is done. Bring in Howell, see if he could develop into a number 2 and a potential. If Bryce remained starter and went down for half a season injured, can the guy be a potential starter if the need arises. I have no fantasies about him being the next Brady. Just hopes that he may be able to be developed. If not, send him packing. But for God's sake, stop holding onto this Dalton delusion.

Thielen I didn't mind so much because what he excels at doing is creating separation without top end speed and he was an elite route runner. I know coaches can coach to a point, but a player like AT knows the little nuances that can be passed on after practice or in game if a DB is doing something that can be exploited in game or help with somthing a younger WR isn't familiar with. They're a real time asset and that has a value as well as long as they're willing to share that knowledge.

Probably not. Do the picks that bounce of XLs hands count though? We can throw those in for free to sweeten the deal.

This is why I hated the Dalton deal last year. He wasn't good in his stint before when Bryce was benched, and we signed him to 2 years almost fully guaranteed when he already had one foot in the career grave and the other on a banana peel. I'm still of the mind that they decided to sign the 5th year last season and signed Dalton to keep Young comfortable until he was finished with at least year 4. I'm going to laugh like hell though when they extend Dalton another year after they announce Bryce's 5th year option. They'll call it a restructuring for cap relief but we'll know what it really is. Keep that QB room competition free.

Now if we could package XL and 19 to move up to 11, I'd be all for that. Heck, I'm sure we've got a copy of Hurney's notes on how not to bust on your 1st round pick in a desk somewhere to include in the deal.

Wonder what the Vegas odds were on the first TD of the game being a pick 6 by Darnold.

19 to 11 won't be cheap and frankly we still have too many holes to go trading up. We're going to need out 2nd and 3rd rounders.

Huge QB contracts really hurt the team in the long run. Hard to build a complete team when so much cap is tied up in one spot. Brady kept his cap hit lower so other players could be brought in. Granted he was compensated in other ways. The QB contracts are almost what the rookie contracts used to be, a weight around the neck of the team that drag you down.

I'm not a Geno fan, but LV had the worst Oline I've seen in a long time. Jeanty had a little over 800 of his 975 yards after contact. That's insanely bad blocking. I don't want Geno here, but I can't fault anyone for looking like complete ass behind that poo show.

We could have built a good team with Fitt. Just do the opposite of whatever he wanted to do.

Their offensive line got owned tonight. That made all the difference.

Lol. Seahawks fans are a special breed of asshole. Never met a group that deserved to be punched in the taint repeatedly more, except maybe Bruins fans.

I live in the PNW. I'm going to have to hear about this nonstop for the next 4 months.

Happy for Sam. Who would have thought he ends up as a SB champion after having Adam Gase and Matt Rhule as his first 2 head coaches.

They're not letting him do what he does. Why on earth you stop running him once you get to the SB is beyond me.

He's got Mike Shula in his ear helping call plays.

Concussion specialist following him. He'll be back with 2 minutes to go.

JSN headed down the tunnel. Not good.

Didn't say that he did. He's obviously got issues. It just struck me with the second part of his comment that he doesn't get the ball where he can do much with it. That's all.

Gotta wonder how much Bryce affects him too. XL strikes me as a guy that relies on game rhythm to get his poo going. Bryce is about as inconsistent as a QB can get. That said, he seriously needs to focus on his game and catching the damn ball. A WR that can't catch is useless.

I didn't think he had officially retired to be eligible.

Person knows something. Has that phrase ever been uttered before?

No it isn't but it's a start to determining whether or not he's worth extending. The worst thing we can have is inconsistentcy. If he's consistently progressing, even if he has a turd of a game every now and again, that's something you can judge and measure. Up and down games every other week make it impossible to do and we certainly can't pay 40m or more a season for that.
